How STACK IT Handles Permanent Tech Hiring

We act like your internal recruiter. A part of your team

What It Is

  • A success-based model (pay only if someone’s hired)
  • End-to-end search and screening for full-time IT hires
  • A structured process that mirrors in-house care

What It’s Not

  • Not a résumé dump or automated process
  • No retainers or pay-to-play models
  • Not exclusive by default. Keep searching on your own.

What’s the Cost of
Leaving That Role Open?

When a critical tech hire stays unfilled, the delays ripple.
  • Projects stall
  • Backlogs pile up
  • Teams burn out
Use our calculator to estimate the actual cost of waiting based on role type, salary data, and delivery impact.

How we calculate this:

  • DORA (Google Cloud)
  • Scrum.org & Atlassian Agile research
  • STACK IT’s own salary benchmarks and velocity data
Powered by STACK IT benchmarks – contract IT hiring delay calculator

How Long has the role been unfilled?

You’re Hiring for Keeps. So Are We.

Permanent hiring affects everything from delivery, morale, and long-term team health. One bad hire can set you back months.
That’s why our searches are focused, structured, and matched to what the role really demands.

We screen for how people show up on the job: under pressure, in teams, and over time. That’s what actually holds up after the first month.

The wrong hire rarely makes it past month one.

weeks

Average time to hire full-time
We use process and tools to move fast, but every candidate is still screened by a recruiter who knows what ‘great’ looks like.

That’s why our clients stay and why our hires do too.

The Right Role Matters
to Top Candidates

The best candidates look for teams they can grow with,
not just companies that pay well. We know where to find them.

Candidate who wants to build something that matters and is focused on meaningful, long-term work with a team they can grow with.

They want to build something that matters

A candidate seeking a defined career path; open to technical or leadership growth within full-time IT roles.

They’re looking for a career path, technical or leadership

Candidate looking for a team that works how they work by prioritizing alignment in pace, tools, and collaboration style.

They want a team that works how they work

We place candidates who think long-term, because the best hires care just as much about the team they’re joining as the work they’ll be doing.

Let’s Make the Process Clear

You only pay once a candidate starts. Our fees are success-based.

No. We can work alongside your other efforts, but perform best with fast feedback.
You don’t pay. Invoicing only triggers when they begin day one.
Yes. We help frame the offer so candidates understand the full picture.
Typically within 2–3 weeks depending on complexity, role type, and alignment process.

Start Hiring With Confidence

Every hire shapes your team, technically and culturally. We treat that responsibility like it’s our own. That’s how we vet, how we work, and how we build trust. That’s our STACK.
